~10 min read 1,845 words

Someone called

"It's time!"

The boss cheered and jumped up in excitement.

Two durians were still hanging from his knees, swinging back and forth.

"What are you still standing there for?"

The landlady, her anger not yet subsided, said unpleasantly.

The boss nimbly opened the computer, muttering to himself.

"Who would have thought our daughter would have the chance to act in a movie? She'll definitely be a big star in the future!"

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have charged Su Meng for that suona and erhu; I would've just given them to him!"

The landlady subconsciously retorted.

"I'm a fan of Su Qi'er... hurry up, turn the speakers up!"

While speaking, the boss had already opened the Bilibili webpage.

A huge banner popped up instantly.

"Ancient Style Leader's movie debut 'Our Shining Days' is officially live!"

The boss let out an exclamation.

"Wow, Xiao Ying's leader really has top-tier status!"

While saying this, his hands were fast, clicking directly on the banner.

The interface jumped, and then...

"Holy crap!" The boss and landlady looked at the playback interface and were instantly stunned...

"Report, it's safe outside!"

A girl wearing pajamas peeked out the door and whispered.

"Action!" someone whispered.

Several people moved quickly.

Some pulled the curtains shut tight, while others moved chairs to block the door firmly.

Only then did they gather in front of a table.

Xiao Ying sat at the table, her face unable to hide her excitement, though she still put on a look of regret.

"What a pity, it really is a pity."

"If it were in theaters, the sound effects would be the best."

"If that's not possible, wearing good headphones would barely pass."

"Now we'll just have to make do."

Someone next to her was already impatient.

"Xiao Ying, stop teasing us, hurry up and play it."

"Also, you promised us one hundred signed photos, and you've only written less than half so far."

Xiao Ying smiled triumphantly, then leisurely opened Bilibili.

A moment later...

"Holy crap!" A chorus of curses suddenly rang out across the entire dormitory building.

"This... what is going on?"

The Chairman's face was pale, his lips trembling.

Was his judgment wrong?

Was this movie really so bad that no one wanted to watch it?

At the critical moment, it was Xia Xia Qingqing who calmed down first.

"Boss, there is definitely a problem here!"

"Even if it were a terrible movie, with this many stars, it shouldn't have zero playback data."

"Not to mention we both attended the screening; this movie is definitely not bad!"

The Chairman barely regained his composure, his face livid.

"Investigate! Investigate immediately..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the phone; it was an unknown number.

But he frowned and answered it anyway.

"Who is this?"

The voice on the other end carried a bit of nervousness and timidity.

"Hello, Boss, I am Xiao Wang, a supervisor in our company's technical department."

"I'm sorry, Boss, I really shouldn't be making this call to you..."

"Reporting over your superiors? Pack your bags and get out tomorrow!" The Chairman didn't wait for him to finish and started cursing.

Reporting over one's superiors in the workplace is a major taboo, let alone at such a critical juncture.

The person on the other end was almost crying, but still forced himself to say.

"I'm sorry, Boss, I kept calling the Director and no one answered, and I couldn't get through to Xia Zong, so I had to come to you."

"The main thing is that something big has happened to our site!"

The Chairman glanced at the Technical Director, who was drunk as a pile of mud, and then at Xia Xia Qingqing's phone that he had just smashed on the floor.

Only then did he barely calm down.

"Speak, what exactly happened?"

"Boss... our Bilibili has been... blown up!"

"What?" The Chairman jumped up in shock.

Why was there one piece of bad news after another today?

"What's going on? Who blew up our Bilibili? Is it a competitor?"

The voice on the phone explained.

"To be precise, it wasn't blown up, but the traffic was so high that our servers couldn't handle it... and it crashed!"

"What did you say? Traffic was too high?" The Chairman keenly grasped this keyword.

"Yes, starting from 11 PM, our site's traffic began to surge."

"At 12 o'clock, when the movie went live, countless users opened the movie playback page at the same time."

"The instantaneous traffic has far exceeded the capacity of our servers."

"Even though we immediately activated backup servers and opened all bandwidth, we still couldn't hold on..."

"Hahahaha..." The Chairman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.

Damn it!

No wonder the view count was zero; it wasn't because few people were watching, but because too many people were?

A moment later, the Chairman's expression turned serious.

"Tell me your solution!"

"Yes, Boss, in this situation, we need to urgently contact the server room and rent new servers."

"But this is beyond my authority, and we can't reach our Director..."

"Do as you think best!" The Chairman interrupted him directly.

"Don't be afraid to spend money; you must give the users the best experience!"

"Also..."

The Chairman glanced at the Technical Director, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and kicked him.

"Also, starting tomorrow, you are the Technical Director!"

At this moment, the internet was already in an uproar.

"Holy crap, what is Bilibili doing? They made such a big fuss, and the movie won't play?"

"Damn it, I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?"

"In this day and age, can't I even watch a crappy movie made in three days?"

"Bilibili, oh Bilibili, you've really embarrassed yourself this time!"

Finally, Bilibili posted a message on its official Weibo account.

"Bilibili Emergency Notice:"

"The movie 'Our Shining Days' went live on Bilibili and was warmly received by the vast number of netizens."

"Because the movie was too popular, it caused Bilibili's traffic to be too high, far exceeding the server's capacity."

"This led to a complete server crash, and our technical staff is currently working on repairs."

"For this, we have killed the Technical Director to apologize."

"To express our apologies, Bilibili will gift every user three days of membership."

"The movie 'Our Shining Days' will be postponed until 10 AM tomorrow; please look forward to it!"

As soon as this message was posted, it instantly topped the trending list.

Seeing this message, netizens were stunned.

"Holy crap, just a crappy movie made in three days, and there are really that many people watching? It crashed Bilibili?"

"No way, I thought I was brain-dead for wanting to watch it, who knew there were so many others like me?"

"Because too many people are watching, it can't be played? This flex... is so smooth!"

"I wasn't interested at first, but seeing this news... fine, I want to see what kind of magic this crappy movie made in three days has."

"Is the roasting army ready? Assemble at 10 AM tomorrow sharp!"

"Bilibili is a big site, and it was actually crashed? I'll watch it tomorrow too."

Unknowingly, many netizens who originally had no feelings for this movie also became interested.

Hu Zheng walked into the lecture hall with a smile on his face.

"I changed the class time this morning; I suppose many of you have complaints?"

A student below gathered the courage to say.

"Mr. Hu, if it weren't for your class, I would have skipped it to watch Su Meng's movie."

"Exactly, exactly, didn't they say many people from our school participated in it?"

"Mr. Hu, please let us skip class."

Bai Xiao walked over and said softly.

"Teacher, the computer is ready, and the time is up."

"Hmm, let's begin."

"Okay."

Bai Xiao responded, walked to the computer, operated it a few times, and a webpage instantly appeared on the big screen.

The students below were stunned, then cheered.

Isn't this Bilibili?

Mr. Hu, you understand me!

"It's finally starting! There won't be any problems this time, right?"

Qin Qin Xiaoxian clicked the play button happily, and the dragon logo instantly appeared on the screen.

Immediately, a beautiful and quiet campus scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

As the camera pushed in, Boss Yang was practicing the violin in the music room.

The camera continued to push in, and Teacher Teacher Reba, who was practicing the harp, also appeared on the screen.

The noble and elegant temperament instantly caused a howl in the Deyun Society.

This was also a little trick Su Meng used during filming.

With so many stars, why not use them?

Having several stars appear at the first moment is the only way to attract attention immediately.

The camera crossed the Western music section and soon arrived at the folk music section; the style and music changed simultaneously.

"A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" began to play.

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian was listlessly hitting the yangqin, and Su Meng's looks were also sealed by glasses and braces; his whole body exuded one word—depressed.

The suona player stopped and said helplessly.

"Nervous classmate, I'm playing 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix', can you please be a bit more energetic?"

This suona player was no ordinary person; he was Bai Xiao's fourth senior brother, the principal suona player of the Shanghai National Orchestra.

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian had an expression of disgust.

"Friend, the funeral atmosphere is already this thick, how do you expect me to be energetic?"

Hearing this, everyone on the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This piece was written by Su Meng; what is this? An official roast?

The plot progressed, and Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue was stuffed into a musical instrument case and dragged along the way.

The people from Deyun Society were laughing uncontrollably.

The appearance of the male version of Deng Deng Deng Ziqi also caused a sensation.

Under Su Meng's lens, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was actually handsome enough to break the sky!

And the person who ended this big melee surprised everyone even more.

It was actually a big cymbal played by the big fatty Sun Yue!

For a moment, many people were joking around Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue and Sun Yue.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue was indifferent, stole a glance at Guo Dagang, whose face was a bit dark, and chuckled.

"Keep watching, keep watching, there's a surprise!"

"Oh right, let me spoil it first, the department head is played by Uncle Yu."

"Wow! Da Da Da Mimi, I didn't expect Su Meng to film you so elegantly!"

Teacher Teacher Reba looked at the screen, her eyes shining.

Boss Yang looked at her helplessly.

"Haven't you already seen it? What are you pretending for?"

"Also, don't you just want me to praise you?"

"Isn't that because Su Meng filmed it well?"

"Eh? I just realized now, Su Meng as a director... is actually this capable?"
